As we start to unpack the last few weeks, we’ve all agreed it feels like we’ve been here for an eternity already. At the same time, it is crazy to think we’ve only already been here a month! Time flies by, especially experiencing jet lag and a new culture. The first few nights we arrived…
I’m glad you’re here! My name is Riah Stroot (“Stroot” rhymes with “boat”) I believe the greatest way to inspire and reach our donors and people that want to be a part of our journey is to have access to our stories, thoughts, and media. That is what I am here for! The Davidson’s have…
The Davidson 7 has, at long last, arrived in Cambodia!!!! Thanks be to God! The amazingness of just being here continues to sink in a little more each day. During our first week new experiences have occurred at such a fast rate that it is difficult to share them in real time! Therefore, I decided…

This is one of the questions I came across when considering our ministry in Cambodia, a country…
Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven.” Where it all started: Recently, I was writing about our hopes to share the Gospel with the Cambodian people, a group made up of over 98% Buddhists. I was interested to…
Over the coming weeks we hope to share more about our hopes for living and working in Cambodia.
